I created an access in access2003 , its being used in multiuser environment ..based on a particular value the database is
automatically closed and only i can change the value. Even after the database is closed the .ldb file exist .. Now I tried your code die.cfm from the following website http://evolt.org/node/3644 , not very sure how to use it , because with the .cfm extension its not getting executed , can you suggest how can i get it executed ?, Or should I create a false query within the database so that it throws the error , but then while running the query I have to login to the database that will create the lock file .. The os used is Win Xp and the file is placed on a common shared drive

The die.cfm is a ColdFusion file and can't be executed from Access.
The fact that a .ldb file resides after the database closure is no real problem.
It's very small and will always be re-created when the database is started again and it's missing, else it's re-used.
When you have a locking problem, there are other things to consider.

The problem that I am facing is I can not make any changes to the design if the .lck file is there .. I can copy the main database to a different location and do the required changes , but after making the changes I will not be able to replace the original file as Its being used and locked by the .lck file , at the same time I cannot provide a new database name to the 70users who are using it !.

The .ldb file can be deleted when no other users are using the database.
When the .ldb file can't be deleted in the explorer, then at least one user is still active..
The moment a user (or VBA code!) changes e.g. a form into design mode, the database will be locked exclusively for that user.
Did you already split the .mdb into a front-end and a back-end ?
Nic;o)
Yes the ldb file can be there because of two reasons one as you mentioned when any user is logged in and 2nd when all users have logged out but the database was not closed properly , so the ldb file was not deleted automatically . Now in the same database I have got forms as Front end .

Hi,
we are in these days deploying a .NET windows app. The exe file is meant to
be self-updating (custom built logic) by downloading newer versions when a

environment.

Hi All,
I'm trying to use more data-adapters/data-sets in a project, because
they are so awesome! Anyhoo, I want to use them with Stored Procedures,
rather than raw SQL text.
The hard part of working with SPs is passing the new values to the
insert, update and delete stored procedures. I've figured out one way to
do it, but was wondering if anyone else had any better ideas, as my way,
although it works fine, means writing quite a lot...

I want MS Access to act as a reporting tool accessing Oracle tables.
The Oracle database is populated by another database application, but
this application cannot create the report I want in this situation. I
can easily develop the application I need to create the report and I'd
like to deploy this tool as a published application over Citrix so
users can simply fireup Access, run the report and print.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
